There is some truth in that, but don't forget that it is estimated that slavery would have ended more than a hundred years earlier had it not been for the fact that the christian bible endorses and condones slavery and even the prescribes the methods that should be used in the beating of slaves.Religion is just a hobby. Whatever floats the next person's boat. As long as they're not trying to fuck up my day to day with their hobbies I don't care what they believe.
The thing is, you keep posting it like it is a gotcha.
Eloquently stated.Living life to the fullest? You're preaching to the choir! I have lived in five countries, visited 24 and counting, I've marched down Woodward Avenue in Detroit with Dr. Martin Luther King in the summer of 1963 while holding my dad's hand, ... met at least ten Black top tier sports, political and entertainment celebrities, ran and finished the very first Detroit Free Press International Marathon in 1978, and am right now living in Thika corridor Nairobi Africa with my 24 year old GF as a 70 year old. What more would you like to see me do? Walk on the moon holding Neil Armstrong's hand? Why should a non-believer in religion live any differently than anyone else? That doesn't make sense! But it's your right to voice it. BTW, where specifically in this posted question do I define myself as an atheist? I'm, of course, responsible for all that I say, but not the things others manufacture and erroneously attribute to me. I'd certainly like to see that particular question answered as well! Still I thank you for chiming in. Usually when I ask serious and thought or doubt provoking questions on religion, the believers tend to run and hide.

No fool like and old fool. Old continent, old fools.The people who have been here longer than anyone else on this earth but their the least educated?war,slavery,thievery,aids and god knows whatever else and their still here and aren't going know where soon but their the least educated.
But anyways a lot of them start to believe in self and less in other things and sometimes things you go through in life will make you think this way and there's nothing wrong with it,high self worth is not a crime.
Science proves that there was a big bang.
Those who study science can't find definitive proof of God or a higher power so that might be the reason for the lack in the belief of religion.
If you're an atheist why spend the little bit of time of your existence on a messageboard? You should be out and about living life to the fullest being that life last several decades ( if you're lucky) nonstop fun for 24 hrs/ ull sleep when you're dead.. No rules no care in the world cause in the end none of this stuff matters cause there is no afterlife or any other existence.. Now go run about your time is ticking, cause everyday is one day closer to death.. Atheist life yeah
Why are you asking me to be the arbiter of who is educated or not? Educated has nothing to do with intelligence. It only is a measure of how far one has progressed in formal scholastic training and Africans on average have the lowest number of postsecondary achievers of all continents. Like I told someone else... just because the message is not music to your ears, play some role in fixing the condition, but don't bury your head in the sand and call truth a lie.What do you considered educated? If someone is highly intelligent but doesn't have a degree or didnt finished high school would you say they are not educated? Lot of countries teachings are different than America in where Americans are given multiple choice to answer questions and other countries they aren't given choices they must know the right answer.. Some would say America is easier compared to other countries learning system.. In fact kids can graduate in America with low reading and math skills due to the no child left behind system.. Now a person can have a high school diploma yet have an elementary / junior high reading and math level.. Now a kid in a poor country can learn from reading books but not necessarily go to school due to economics or politics in their country, that kid technically be smarter than the kid from America with an high school diploma but don't necessarily have the documents or paperwork to show it.
Listen as Neil deGrasse Tyson explains how the more education people achieve, the less likely they are to believe in religion. I would love for someone to explain why that occurs. Why is it that the less education you have, the more likely you are to buy into religion? Take Africa, for example. The least educated continent on planet Earth. Sorry, but facts are facts. And Africa is, by the way, the MOST religious continent on Earth. The whole thing rings counterintuitive. One would assume that if religion had any redeeming merits then the smartest people would be first to realize that and be first to endorse the practice. But the truth is 100% the total opposite.
Anybody got an answer? If I get no useful answer, I'm left to assume that it's apparently true that science starts with questions and seeks answers while religion starts with answers and rejects questions.
I don't owe you shit, DM ... I paid my money, I say what I want, if you don't like my comments and opinions go jerk off to some nudes. I discuss real issues, particularly those that involve my present home in Africa with intelligent adults, not confused entitled kids. BTW the likely reason I've no post history is I'm a renewed member here after a 4 or 5 year absence. Not cause I feel compelled to hide anything from you or your ilk. No matter what may or may not be found in my history, what the fuck can you do about it besides flap your childish ignorant gums, name call, cuss and fuss or go call on grownups and mods to hold your hand and your hanky? FOH boy!Hey @HNIC and @Lexx Diamond something about this dude seems off. Especially since he's also hiding his post history. How about forcing him to verify himself or unhide his post history so that we can see if he trolls regularly.
Anybody with an even remote understanding of the world knows that Africans are less developed, and educated, than people of other continents that had the ability to develop. This is almost all due to outside factors playing a role in extracting African wealth, and making sure the people never had the ability to gain traits that would help africa developR
[url=https://postimages.org/]Really? Then how do you explain the 3 or 4 people (so far) who have chimed in on this post arguing that these statements are lies? And that Africans are NOT typically short on education and literacy?

He said literateWhat do you considered educated? If someone is highly intelligent but doesn't have a degree or didnt finished high school would you say they are not educated?

You are too enlightened for me oh wise follower of the Egyptian god cult of Osiris. One humbles himself in thine gifted and elevated presence. An intellect as mysterious and banal... uh I mean divine... as that of the creators (it's hundreds of gods, right? 'K, cool!). You honor all lucky enough to bare witness to your claims in the porn kingdom of BGOL. Thank you once again but not for all for gracing us with one's elucidated knowledge of the universe.But of course, to one incapable of understanding. Remember....You typed 'nothing.'

You can believe in god or a higher power without following the 3 major religions... You can also see a few concepts in a few of the religions that you believe have good concepts or some form of truth.. Now if you don't believe in god/gods, afterlife, etc why aren't you making sure you get the full experience or worry about certain things when in the end none of this really matters?Right. It makes MUCH more sense to join the priesthood, swear off pussy for the rest of your life, and pretend there is a little white man in the clouds who will throw you into a lake of fire to burn for eternity because you choked your chicken while thinking about the neighbors daughter.
My question is this: why do religious people (generally Christians and Muslims; Buddhists don't do this) assume one is an atheist if it is discovered that he does not belief in established dogma?
Fair point.I really just think a lot of people dont really go to Africa. So they take a slight on Africans as a slight on black people in their country.
Why are you getting mad, you made a claim I'm asking you what do you mean by it.. Making statements but not being able to explain what you mean seems like you're just talking.. I'm trying to see what you meanWhy are you asking me to be the arbiter of who is educated or not? Educated has nothing to do with intelligence. It only is a measure of how far one has progressed in formal scholastic training and Africans on average have the lowest number of postsecondary achievers of all continents.

Man, would you fucking go away? I don't know you, never heard of you, ... you came into my thread, I never ventured into yours. What the fuck is your issue? I'm likely as old as your grandfather ... I'm a product of the 1950's and have been here long enough to predict your fate with near perfect precision. Kneegrows such as yourself that intentionally seek out strangers to antagonize tend to live stunted lives. I've witnessed what becomes of your ilk for decades. I taught high school rejects like you for ten years back in the 80's and most are already dead. Hope you heal and correct yourself before someone does it for you. Really I do.Look look here little g. You make sure you take the bass out your voice when you try to talk to anybody because we all know you're some goofy little clown trying to be what he's not.
It's always the weird wannabe shit talking pussies that are the loudest on here.
BingoFair point.I really just think a lot of people dont really go to Africa. So they take a slight on Africans as a slight on black people in their country.
A little over a week ago in Nigeria over 300 kids at a Catholic school were kidnapped. About 50 have escaped/returned, but this has effectively shut down ALL schools in the largest state of the most populous African nation.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Niger_State_school_kidnapping
You simply wont develop with these kind of factors around. The same thing happened with girls being kidnapped and sold into slavery in Nigeria 10 years ago to mass outrage, and a local leadership who really couldnt bother. When one thinks of fear of a "black planet" this is the reality.
Yemen is still, with our and Saudi Arabia's help, effectively a failed state.Bingo
Like I said politics and poverty has a lot to do why some countries lack schooling.. There's times Yemen had a full shutdown of all schools and biz for a few yrs due to wartime.. Whole towns getting bombed and shot up.. Kids didn't go to school cause they was busy trying to survive not because they are dumb.. Does he consider the kids uneducated cause they were fighting to stay alive
He posted here b4 .. He does this.. Take off for yrs than comeback with controversial topics to stir shit up than disappear.. He's even posted a pic of himself... Yrss ago was him trying to insult America and American women.. He showcased his money arrangement "girlfriend" and was saying how foreign women were much better..Hey @HNIC and @Lexx Diamond something about this dude seems off. Especially since he's also hiding his post history. How about forcing him to verify himself or unhide his post history so that we can see if he trolls regularly.
I would answer...but I am not sure what the question is.You can believe in god or a higher power without following the 3 major religions... You can also see a few concepts in a few of the religions that you believe have good concepts or some form of truth.. Now if you don't believe in god/gods, afterlife, etc why aren't you making sure you get the full experience or worry about certain things when in the end none of this really matters?

Make sure you don't confuse religion with belief.
Religion is merely ceremony calculated for manipulation.
Belief is a personal matter.
If you understand the distinction you should have no problem.
Man, if you don't miss me with that bullshit. This CAC spent the whole 2000s shitting on religion in the name of atheism and talking about how religion is cause of a lot of bullshit around the world except when it's Israel turn to catch heat, he go full defense mode to protect of their fuck shit in the name of having a Jewish state. Probably has nothing to do with him being Jewish, huh? The whole fucking internet is talking about Zionism because in front of your fucking face! You whole Congress is beholden to these muthafuckas and your goofy ass is talking about people being terminally online is the cause. Negro please.You can always tell the people who are terminally online cause they run around calling other people's zionists. Especially if you're black and run around talking about zionist.
They don't focus on nutrition, cause they are not taught nutrition. Medicine in the US is reactive not proactive. There is no money in preventing disease. The curriculum in every US medical school is organized by big pharma. The last thing they'd wish to see is a healthy populace. The age of the Viking was over a thousand year ago. To justify the educational failures of modern Africa by declaring them o worse than Vikings dodges the questioning of failures in modern African leadership. There was a time when Africa was a stellar example of higher education and discovery. They've gone backward as the world moved forward. NOBODY wants an African doctor. The wealthy and political leadership in Africa go to Europe when they need serious medical attention. I'm sure you must know that. No Black African has EVER won a Nobel prize in ANY scientific endeavor! None! While EIGHT Israelis have done so. Israel is not even a thousandth the size of sub-Saharan Africa. Explanation?The operative term here should be FORMAL education.
My Grandfather was one of the smartest men I have ever known. I don't think he got past grade 3.
My father (estranged though he was), was from the asshole of the south, yet he died owning 3 apartment buildings, several other rental properties, and a 20 plus acre compound where he lived.
He never made it past grade 6.
I could go on, but hopefully you get the point.
Formal education (I have quite a bit) only REFINES and COMPLEMENTS what one brings to the table, ideally. Many of the Ph.D. candidates I met as a student were downright stupid. They paid people like me to do the hard stuff, like running stats or simple WRITING. whenever a major paper was due.
Africans may be largely illiterate and uneducated, but so were the Vikings and most if not all Indigenous peoples of what is now the Americas.
There is no causal association between intellect and education. What passes for education here in the states is largely indoctrination. This is why a doctor will give you medication or propose surgery for common ailments such as diabetes, as opposed to addressing nutrition. They generally practice (quite literally) what they have been taught. Medical schools in the U.S. don't historically focus much on nutrition.
As far as religion goes, theoretically, once one is exposed to the knowledge and evidence that the Earth revolves around the sun, and not the other way around (i.e. once one is educated), he/she has no need for an explanation of unknown phenomena, which is essentially the zygote from which fully formed religions evolve.
So, why do educated people still practice religion? Because, for example, the American public, largely uneducated AND stupid as they are, will NOT vote for a president who claims to be an atheist. They, like some people on this forum, seem to think altruism is nonexistent without the influence of religion.
This is the dogma that has kept most of us enslaved, and we don't even know it.
Your turn.
Religion is belief in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Actually, I have no interest in Africa nor Africans whatsoever. I could not care less about the cause of their relative lack of education.They don't focus on nutrition, cause they are not taught nutrition. Medicine in the US is reactive not proactive. There is no money in preventing disease. The curriculum in every US medical school is organized by big pharma. The last thing they'd wish to see is a healthy populace.

Hey......didn't your mamma teach you not to speak when adults are in the room. The only thing you can teach is how to be a little bitch. On that you're a fucking expert.
I would tell you to go eat a bag of dicks but I know for a fact that a bunch of dicks in your face would make you happy.
